{{For|a quick comparison of all 3 television types|Television}}
 
A '''flatscreen television''' is a [[recreation]] item that provides "{{P|Recreation Type}}" recreation to [[colonist]]s in an area in front of it. It is functionally similar to other types of [[television]].
 
  
== Acquisition ==
+
{{Info|A '''flatscreen television''' that is more entertaining than a [[tube television]], but still 1 tier lower than the [[megascreen television]]. Effective in a 5x6 area in front of the object. Seats must face the TV. The flatscreen television has an entertainment strength factor of 140%.
Flatscreen televisions can be constructed once the [[Research#{{P|Required Research}}|{{P|Required Research}}]] research project has been completed. They require {{Required Resources}}, {{Ticks|{{P|Work To Make}}}} of work, and a [[{{P|Skill 1}}]] skill of {{P|Skill 1 Level}}.
 
  
They can also be [[Trade|purchased]] from [[Outlander]]s caravans and [[faction base]]s, or found in [[ancient shrine]]s.
+
As of 0.19 the flatscreen television can be crafted by [[colonist]]s with a construction level 8 or higher with 140 [[steel]] and 16 [[components]].}}
  
== Summary ==
+
Flatscreen televisions placed facing [[hospital bed]]s can allow recovering pawns to watch TV for [[recreation]]al purposes. This can be very useful, as the only other option that bed-bound pawns have requires another colonist to talk to them, and joy-less colonists suffer terrible mood penalties.
{{Television Summary|6|5}}
 
  
== Analysis ==
+
It is researched via the Complex Electronics section
Any television provides another form of recreation to your colony. It is useful for bed-ridden pawns in particular, as the only other option requires that another colonist talk to them.
 
 
 
In general, it is not worth it to actually research televisions for the purposes of recreation. [[Megascreen television]]s provide stronger recreation and are often carried by exotic goods [[trader]]s and [[faction base]]s. Both flatscreen and [[tube television]]s can also be bought from the same sources.
 
 
 
Flatscreen televisions can be used for resource compression, compressing 59.7 kg of 105 [[steel]] and 12 [[components]] into a mere 8 kilos. This allows you to carry 7 times the weight you normally would on a caravan, but means that you will lose 50% of the 140 steel and 16 components.
 
 
 
== Version history ==
 
* [[Version/0.13.1135|0.13.1135]] - Added. Sick people in bed can now watch TV
 
* 0.19 - can now be constructed.
